Men Who Dress Store Windows.
Nav YORK Mail and Exnrnss

Five years ago Henry Sands was clerk,
employed by small dry goods store on
Sixth avenue. His salary was $l2 week,
and his duties required him to be at the
store each day from o'clock in the morn
ing until 8 in the evening. Fortune has
smiled upon him since, and when reporter
met him on Broadway few nights ago he
wore diamonds. During the conversation
that followed he revealed the cause Of his
success.
"You remember when was in my old
place how ] used to kick whenever they told
me to tidy up the show windows?" he said.
swell, the very thing objected TO was the
making OF me. There was fellow en-
ployed IN another dry goods store block
down who was forever putting the windows
My employer was all the time after me to
get ahead OF him and arrange our stock In
an advantageous manner. Finally became
so weary that resolved one day to put
every article he had for sale conspicuously
In the show window. did not know then
that l had struck the secret Of window
trimming, but but, | know 1T now. !
selected samples OF every article
in the store, arranged them in graceful dra-
peries and fantastic figures so that all could
be displayed, aud resumed my place behind
the counter, inwardly curslng my employer.
Before two days had passed had reason to
thank him. The representative OF large
house came to me and engaged my services
to dress the windows of his establishment
at an annual salary OF $1,000. What am
bition / ever had was aroused from that
time. have studied the art of window
decoration so frequently since that | am
now rated the best man In the business.
draw a salary Of $75 week and have car
penter at my command to make whatever
frames / desire.
"The mania for window display has
grown wonderfully In this country during
the past four or five years. All the large
houses employ man at good salary to do
this work exclusively. Some OF them go to
the greatest extremes. The house OF John
Wanamaker ~ Co., In Philadelphia, en-
ploys a window dresser who has a corps OF
men under him. He has only to conceive
the design. They put into the proper
shape. There Is large lumber room on
the premises, In which the frameworks oil
his most successful ideas are stored to be
used some time in the future. Several firm
In New York make speciality OF trimming
the windows OF houses, which cannot afford
to employ trimmer OF their own. To bC
good trimmer man must have been
brought up In the business. An exact
knowledge OF the stock of goods on hand Il
very necessary, for the most successful win
dow trimmer is one who can display TO adj
vantage the greatest variety of articles
Such work is done during the night or IL
the early morning, when there are few
paEsers-by.n

HOW TO CAST A FLY.
Seth Green Gives n Reporter Some
Pointers on Fishing.

A Democrat and Chronicle reporter was
returning day or two ago from trying his
hand at "casting the fly" with the ordinary
saw Seth Green Just crossing a trout
stream with his basket full Of fish. In be-
wailiDg his own hard luck the thought
struck the reporter that after all there
might be o scientific reason for It. He
therefore approached Mr.. Green with
something Of the same feeling the ancients
are said to have had when they visited the
oarcle at Dephi, and began series Of ques.
lions to that gentleman pertaining to the
rod and reel.
"You want me to tell YOU" said NJ.
Green, show 1t is that l always all my
basket with sinners, and you chaps have to
make q visit TO the fish market on your way
home or get laughed ata Well, get out
your pencil and write as talk and l will
tell you.
"in the first place, when I go fishing, go
fishing. don't hear the babble Of the
brook. / don'tsee the futtering bird, nor
the silvery leaves, nor the beautiful sky
Neither do / fish anybody else's line.
fish my own, and / don't watch my COM
panion, IL have one, to see when he gets a
bite. don't care whether he gets bite or
not ] am attending to my own business,
and looking for good place to cast. am
looking for the fly that is on the water, and
to see II there is a rise. II / see one, no
matter II It is ten rods away, mark the
place, and make for It, don't run, but go
quietly along, aud keep fishing, and when
get within casting distance drop my fly a
little short, and II don't get rise, the
next cast is made exactly on the spot on
which the fly lit. My fly does not go
with thud, as though wanted to hit the
bulls eye, but It touches the water as
lightly as fond mothers hand touches the
brow Of lovely, coaxing child that she
loves better than can find words to ex-
press. / am just as sure of rise, too, as
its loving eyes up to her face, with an ex
preston which says to her, Il am yours
feel when my fly drops so gently on the
water that It does not make ripple, that
the fish is mine.

WASHINGTON GROVE CAMP.
No More Sunday Meetings Nor Free
Lunches,

The board Of trustees OF the Washington
Grove Camp Meeting Association met last
night in the west class room Of Foundry NJ.
E. Church, at s o'clock. Mr.. Robt. Cohen
presided and Mr.. Simpson acted as secre-
tary. Minor business was speedily dis
posed Of, and the consideration OF resolu-
lions from the meeting Of stockholders on
the subject OF Sunday travel 10 the camp
grounds was proceeded with Theresolutions
originated with the preachers meeting, and
several OF the members expressed, In de-
clded terms, their Interpretation OF what
they deemed unnecessary and impertinent
interference. Exceptions were taken to
this view OF the case, and the action of the
ministers was vigorously defended by those
who thought principle and not finance
should rule. There was discussion followed
by more discussion; then would come an
amendment, end substitute for the
amendment was sandwlched between 1t
and the original motion, and in little
while things would be SO badly mixed that
II became necessary TO spit on the slate,
wipe out the problem, and begin again.
Much time was thus wasted, but finally
Mr.. Simpson offered resolution, which
was as follows "That the time for holding
the next camp meeting be fixed for Aug.
ii, to continue for two weeks, and that the
two Sundays be omitted.n There was de.
bate almost without limit on this. 1t was
strongly advocated by ii. b. Moulton, Maj
II. A. Hall, and Mr.. Wade on high moral
and religious grounds and was strenuously
opposed by Mr.. John T.. Mitchell and Mr..
Worthipgton. A call Of the yeas and nays
resulted In the adoption Of the resolution
by vote OF 10 to 8.
Mr.. Wade moved "that the secretary be
equested to notify the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad that we hold no public service on
Sunday, and that we cause that fact to be
published In the newspapers OF the city Of
Washington and Of Montgomery county
One Of the trustees said this action would
be appreciated by those families who live
| on the grounds, for there was nothing sc
| annoying as the Sunday crowd Of "fret
lunchers." Everybody was glad when
Sunday night came aud the multitude was
| gone.
The motion was carried and the meeting
| adjourned.

assault with intent to kill j. IL. Wilmot,
and bail for his release pending the hearing
on appeal fixed at $4,000, still remains In

Attorney Worthington brought the case to
the attention Of the court and asked that
an early day be set for the hearing.
Mr.. @. Maurice Smith, OF the counsel for

slty for such urgency in seeking a hearing.
Mr.. Worthington understood that there
would be only another week OF the court,
aud If the case was permitted to go over 1t

October. He thought the cause should be

to give next Thursday for hearing the
